Welcome to the Forum.
I found this about Mexican 1984 Monte

The Mexican version of the Monte Carlo SS was only offered in 1984 and differs from the United States version in several ways:
  • LM1 350ci V8 w/ 4bbl carb (probably rated at 190 HP and 270 ft/lb tq)
  • 4 Speed Hurst Manual Transmission
  • Checkerboard style wheels
  • No rear spoiler
  • Different side graphics
  • Interior this is Grand Prix style w/ SS embroydered in headrests
  • Special steering wheel
  • Only Power Locks / Manual Window combination available

There's plenty of room for updates. I had 2 Monte's Carlo's with that Motor. Headers & a cam is all I did to mine. But gas wasn't an issue back then. one was a 76 the other was a 77. Loved them both. Great riding cars. But heavy. High rise intake with a bigger carb or re jet the one you have to bigger secondarys will help. Nice looking car Rick
Oh cool, I was thinking headers and cam because that is where the most restrictions where done for emissions (I think, let me know if this is true). I also think that a new rear end is in order with a shorter ratio, but I want to work on making her breathe better first

Do you recommend a new carb (like 600 cfs)? I hear that the quadrajets on these are good but IDK.

Hey welcome to the site - I love the checkerboard style wheels. Did your Monte come with them and you decided to change to what you have on there now?

That thing's nice! I like seeing nice things come out of Mexico, the country has such a bad name for being a 'poor' country when there are so many nice areas!

Yeah there are a lot of nice things here, but there is no place like home

Thanks for all the welcomes!

I bought it with the changed rims, but they did come standard. They were 14" rims, I think these look better personally AwesomeSS

ZJerry, I saw that info too. I will be updating you guys on what I am doing to the "Hammer" haha I think I will start by upgrading/updating the Brakes > headers and exhaust> Cam > Carb > rear end > Juice haha. Comments?
